Forecast Discussion
Not much change in the forecast for this mission. A strong high-pressure system will remain in control of the weather across the Florida peninsula through the remainder of the week. This will result in mainly fair skies and relatively light low-level winds. Moisture will remain limited in the wake of the previous system that moved over the area last weekend. Therefore, expect only scattered cumulus clouds across the area and they are not expected to play a significant role in the weather for the launch. The primary weather concern is for the Cumulus Cloud Rule. In the event of a 24-hour delay, weather conditions remain relatively unchanged. Light winds and scattered clouds are likely once again. The primary concern is for the Cumulus Cloud Rule.
